What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, scalable web and mobile products, especially in fintech or AI-driven domains. I want ownership across clean architecture, strong testing, and reliable CI/CD—while continuously improving code quality and delivery speed.

I’m a results-driven, versatile full-stack software engineer with hands-on fintech experience and a strong software engineering foundation from a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. I enjoy building secure, scalable web and mobile systems—from responsive multi-role interfaces to AI-powered and embedded-style simulation workflows.

In my recent work as a Full-Stack Software Engineer (Contract), I’m designing and developing production web and mobile applications using Django/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, async task processing, and cloud tooling. At Interswitch East Africa, I integrated 7+ payment services into the QuicktellerAgentApp, consistently delivering complex projects ahead of schedule while strengthening code quality and security with automated testing and reliable deployments.

I lead and ship meaningful projects like Kamssa (examination management), and I also build mobile and full-stack products such as EcoVille and an e-Learning platform. My ethos is clean architecture and disciplined delivery—microservices, REST APIs, security best practices, and mentoring—supported by strong testing habits and continuous process improvements.
